Chrome 155 Adds JPEG XL, Post-Quantum Crypto and Wallet IDs

The Digital Credentials API gains issuance support. The notes say it lets an issuing website, such as a university, government agency or bank, securely start the process of provisioning a digital credential into your mobile wallet app. On Android, that runs through the Credential Manager system, and on desktop Google describes a cross device approach using the CTAP protocol, similar to how credential presentation already works. Picture finishing a degree and being offered the diploma as a wallet credential from the university’s own page, instead of a PDF you email around. Whether institutions actually offer that is up to them, and the notes do not say which ones plan to.
